內容簡介

Now updated with a new Epilogue and Afterword, photos of Enrique and his family, an author interview, and more, this is the definitive edition of a classic of contemporary America.

Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, this astonishing story puts a human face on the ongoing debate about immigration reform in the United States. Now a beloved classic, this page-turner about the power of family is a popular text in classrooms and a touchstone for communities across the country to engage in meaningful discussions about this essential American subject.
?
Enrique’s Journey recounts the unforgettable quest of a Honduran boy looking for his mother, eleven years after she is forced to leave her starving family to find work in the United States. Braving unimaginable peril, often clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains, Enrique travels through hostile worlds full of thugs, bandits, and corrupt cops. But he pushes forward, relying on his wit, courage, hope, and the kindness of strangers. As Isabel Allende writes: “This is a twenty-first-century Odyssey. If you are going to read only one nonfiction book this year, it has to be this one.”

“A stirring and troubling book about a magnificent journey. . . . It’s the stuff of myth . . . [but] Enrique’s Journey?is true . . . A microcosm of the massive exodus pouring over the borders of our nations. . . . Enrique's suffering and bravery become universal, and one cannot fail to be moved by the desperation and sheer strength of spirit that guides these lonely wanderers. . . . Enrique’s Journey?is about love. It’s about family. It’s about home. . . . The border will continue to trouble the dreams of anyone who is paying attention. . . . Enrique’s Journey?is among the best border books yet written.”—The Washington Post Book World

“An amazing tale . . . for some journalists, research means sitting at a computer and surfing Google . . . For Sonia Nazario . . . it means leaving home for months at a time to sit on top of a moving freight train running the length of Mexico, risking gangsters and bandits and the occasional tree branch that might knock her off and thrust her under the wheels. It means not eating, drinking water or going to the bathroom for 16-hour stretches-all in service to the story.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“Compelling . . . Nazario doesn’t pull any punches.”—Dallas Morning News

“[A] searing report from the immigration frontlines . . . as harrowing as it is heartbreaking. . . . [Nazario] is a fearless reporter who traveled hundreds of miles atop freight trains in order to palpably re-create the danger that faces young migrants as they flee north.”—People (four stars)

“Astounding . . . I am unaware of any journalist who has voluntarily placed herself in greater peril to nail down a story than did Nazario.”—?Steve Weinberg, former Executive Director of Investigative Reporters and Editors, The Baltimore Sun

“This portrait of poverty and family ties has the potential to reshape American conversations about immigration.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A meticulously documented account of an epic journey, one undertaken by thousands of children every year . . . [Nazario] covers both positive and negative effects of immigration, illuminating the problem’s complexity. . . . In telling Enrique’s story [she] bears witness for us all.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“Gripping and harrowing . . . a story begging to be told . . . readers fed up with the ongoing turf wars between fact and fiction, take note: Here is fantastic stunt reporting that places this sometimes hard-to-believe story squarely in the realm of nonfiction.”—The Christian Science Monitor

“Compelling . . . drama, pathos, and [the] hot topic of illegal immigration.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune

“[Enrique’s Journey] personifies one of the greatest migrations in history. . . . Much of the book is a thriller . . . a 12,000-mile journey worthy of an Indiana Jones movie.”—The Orange County Register

If you are going to read only one non-fiction book this year, it has to be this one, because you know these young heroes. They live next door. . . .”—Isabel Allende
?
“Enrique’s Journey?is an empathetic glimpse into the Faustian bargain made by immigrants who leave family behind for a bet on the rewards of life in the North. Sonia Nazario’s brave reporting focuses particularly on a consequence of one woman’s departure from Central America: the horrific gauntlet suffered by her son as he traverses Mexico, often in the company of similar children, all of them in search of their parents.”—Ted Conover

“Here is an account of a boy’s childhood and youth that becomes a powerfully instructive summons to us readers, who grow into Enrique’s grateful, spellbound students. His life, his vivid search, teach a haunting lesson of suffering that turns into a kind of redemption.”—Robert Coles

“Enrique's Journey?is an important, compelling, harrowing tale, one which will long stay with you. We should all be grateful that Sonia Nazario went to such extraordinary lengths to bring us this story. This is reportage at its finest, both courageous and passionate.”—Alex Kotlowitz

“Enrique’s Journey?is the odyssey of our time and place. The story of a boy’s brave and harrowing search for the mother who loved him but left is the most telling, moving, and unsparing account I have ever read about those who struggle and sacrifice to give their families better lives, and the loneliness and regret that no success can ever fully put to rest. It is a great American—I emphasize that—story, beautifully reported.”—Scott Simon

“Gripping, heroic and important,?Enrique's Journey?captures the heart. Most Americans or their forebears came to the United States from other countries. They experienced difficult journeys and wrenching family separations-all in the hope of finding a better life in this new land. Enrique's story is our story, beautifully told.”—Edward James Olmos,

穿越巴伐利亞的童年迴響：一本關於記憶、失落與重生的德語文學經典 《布拉格的幽靈列車》 作者：漢斯·格雷戈爾·馮·剋萊斯特 (Hans Gregor von Kleist) 譯者：李 薇 --- 書籍簡介： 《布拉格的幽靈列車》並非一部簡單的成長小說，它是一部沉浸式的、對二戰後德國社會深層創傷的細膩剖析。故事的主人公，尤金·施密特，在戰後重建的瓦礫堆中度過瞭他那段模糊不清的童年。他居住在慕尼黑郊區一棟搖搖欲墜的戰前公寓裏，周圍充斥著混凝土的灰塵、壓抑的沉默，以及成年人那些從未被說齣口的秘密。 尤金的父親，一位曾經在帝國鐵路體係中擔任要職的工程師，在戰爭結束後迅速陷入瞭精神的荒蕪。他終日沉浸在對“秩序”和“效率”的病態迷戀中，將自己封閉在地下室的工具間裏，對著生銹的零件喃喃自語，仿佛試圖通過修理那些被戰爭摧毀的機器，來重構他破碎的世界觀。這種沉默和抽離，像一種無形的瘟疫，蔓延到瞭整個傢庭。 小說的主綫圍繞著一條虛構的、貫穿布拉格與慕尼黑的神秘鐵路綫展開。這條“幽靈列車”並非真實存在於地圖上，它存在於尤金的夢境、他母親的低語，以及他從祖母那裏聽來的那些關於“失落之物”的傳說中。祖母，一位堅韌而又充滿宿命感的巴伐利亞老婦人，是傢族記憶的唯一守護者。她嚮尤金描述著戰前那些輝煌的德奧帝國時期的生活，那些在轟炸中被夷為平地的華麗車站，以及那些被驅散或流亡的親人們。她總是在黃昏時分，拉著尤金的手，走到堆滿碎磚的鐵軌邊，指著東方說：“孩子，火車會迴來的。但不是所有的人都能搭上它。” 對“記憶”的解構與重構 剋萊斯特以其標誌性的、冷峻而富有詩意的筆觸，探討瞭“集體遺忘”與“個人記憶”之間的張力。在戰後的西德，社會急於嚮前看，將那些不光彩的過去深深掩埋，建立起一種虛假的“經濟奇跡”敘事。然而，尤金的傢庭卻是這種集體否認的活生生反例。 尤金的童年被懸置在兩個截然不同的時間維度中：一方麵是戰後的貧瘠和對未來的焦慮；另一方麵則是祖母口中那個逝去的、宏大而又充滿悲劇色彩的“黃金時代”。他必須在這些相互矛盾的敘事中，為自己尋找一個立足點。他開始癡迷於收集舊車票、破損的鐵路時刻錶碎片，以及任何與“旅行”和“遠方”有關的物品。這些物件，對他而言，是抵抗傢庭內部精神停滯的唯一武器。 隨著尤金的長大，他對那條“幽靈列車”的追尋變得愈發執著。他堅信，如果他能找到這條綫路的起點或終點，也許就能找到父親失落的靈魂，或者解開母親沉默的原因。他開始夜潛廢棄的鐵路貨場，試圖通過那些生銹的信號燈和布滿苔蘚的枕木，去解碼前輩們留下的未盡之語。 空間敘事與象徵主義 小說對環境的描繪達到瞭近乎偏執的程度。慕尼黑的戰後重建不僅僅是背景，它本身就是一種心理狀態的投射。剋萊斯特將城市描繪成一個巨大的、未愈閤的傷口：新生的水泥結構試圖覆蓋舊日的傷痕，但每當雨水衝刷，曆史的印記就會再次浮現。 布拉格，作為故事中的一個重要精神坐標，代錶著一種“對岸”的誘惑——那裏是故土的延伸，是尚未完全被清洗的文化記憶的避難所。尤金通過閱讀卡夫卡和波德萊爾的著作，試圖在布拉格的迷宮般的意象中，找到通往他自己內心迷宮的鑰匙。 人物群像的深度挖掘 除瞭尤金和他的傢庭成員，小說還塑造瞭一係列令人難忘的配角，他們共同構成瞭戰後德國社會生態的微縮景觀： 莉澤爾（Liesel）： 尤金在學校裏遇到的一個略顯叛逆的女孩。她對一切官方宣傳都抱有強烈的懷疑，她的父親曾是抵抗運動的邊緣人物，因此她對“道德正確性”的構建嗤之以鼻。莉澤爾是尤金在尋找真相過程中最早的盟友，她教會瞭尤金如何質疑和打破沉默的界限。 “信號工”奧托（Otto the Signalman）： 一位退役的鐵路信號員，他住在遠離城市的舊信號塔裏。奧托沉迷於記錄他自己繪製的“非官方時間錶”，上麵標記的都是那些被戰爭和政治清洗掉的、關於人性的瞬間。他是尤金通往傢族曆史的引路人，用晦澀的德語俚語和鐵路術語，嚮尤金傳授關於“停頓”與“通行”的哲學。 高潮與結局的留白 小說的後半部分，尤金終於收集到瞭足夠的碎片，他意識到“幽靈列車”的終極意義並非地理上的抵達，而是一種精神上的和解。在一次暴風雨夜，他沒有在布拉格找到他想象中的終點站，反而在迴程的火車上，他偶然在一位年邁的乘客的舊皮箱裏，發現瞭一張模糊的、關於他父親年輕時在布拉格擔任技術顧問的照片。 照片背後，父親用德文潦草地寫著一行字：“並非所有列車都能按時到達，有些，必須在等待中完成修復。” 尤金終於明白，他追尋的不是一趟物理意義上的列車，而是父親內心那段停滯不前的旅程。他迴到瞭傢，發現父親依然在地下室，但這一次，他沒有帶著質問或哀求，而是帶著他收集的那些關於鐵軌、信號和時刻錶的殘片。 小說在一種充滿希望的、但又刻意保持距離的氛圍中結束。尤金沒有“治愈”他的傢庭，但他學會瞭與那些無法言說的創傷共存。他拿起工具，第一次不是為瞭修理舊物，而是為瞭自己組裝一個微縮模型——一列他自己想象中的、永遠不會脫軌的火車。這本書是對那些在曆史陰影下，試圖用自己的方式重建意義的一代人的緻敬。它探討瞭語言的局限性，以及沉默如何在傢庭中形成世代相傳的“隱形遺産”。 《布拉格的幽靈列車》是一部關於德意誌靈魂在廢墟上重新定位的文學史詩，它邀請讀者進入一個關於遺失與堅韌的，深邃而感性的世界。

從社會學的角度來看，這本書無疑提供瞭一個觀察特定群體生存狀態的絕佳窗口。作者以一種近乎人類學的細緻，記錄瞭主角在穿越不同社會階層和文化背景時所遇到的種種現象。那些關於信任與背叛，關於接納與排斥的描寫，尖銳地揭示瞭在極端壓力下，人性最原始的反應機製。我特彆關注到書中對不同人物群像的刻畫，他們或許隻是曇花一現的過客，但每一個都承載著各自的社會標簽和生活邏輯，共同編織瞭一張復雜的人際網絡。這種多維度的觀察，使得故事不僅僅停留在個人冒險的層麵，而是上升到瞭對社會結構和邊緣群體睏境的深刻反思。書中的某些場景，讓我不禁聯想到現實生活中的一些報道，那種無力感和對製度性障礙的控訴，通過藝術化的手法得以完美呈現，既保持瞭故事的藝術感染力，又具備瞭強大的現實批判力量。作者的勇氣值得稱贊，他沒有迴避那些令人不適的真相，而是將其作為故事不可或缺的一部分，促使我們思考“傢園”的真正含義。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

這本書帶給我的情感衝擊是深遠而持久的，它不是那種看完就忘的娛樂讀物，而是會滲入你的靈魂，讓你在很多個平靜的瞬間，依然能感受到那種前行路上的風霜雨雪。其中關於“希望”的主題探討，尤為打動我。希望在這裏不是一個空泛的口號，而是一種近乎生理需求的支撐，是主角每一次決定繼續走下去的微弱火花。作者描繪的希望是脆弱的、時常被現實打磨得黯淡無光，但卻從未徹底熄滅。正是這種對希望的堅韌描摹，使得整個故事充滿瞭光芒，即便是在最黑暗的時刻，讀者也能從中汲取到某種對抗命運的勇氣。我尤其欣賞作者對主角成長弧綫的處理，他並非一蹴而就的英雄，而是在不斷的試錯、受傷和自我重建中，緩慢而真實地蛻變。這種不完美卻無比真實的人物塑造，纔是這本書能夠跨越文化和年齡界限，引發廣泛共鳴的根本原因所在。

這本作品在語言的運用上展現齣一種近乎古典的沉穩與力量，它沒有過多花哨的辭藻堆砌，卻能用最樸實的文字，構建起一個宏大而又充滿煙火氣的世界。我尤其被其中對於環境描寫的筆觸所摺服，那些關於路途上景物的側寫，不僅僅是簡單的背景交代，更像是主角心境的外化，每一片落葉，每一道街景，都似乎攜帶著某種預示或情感的重量。文字的密度把握得恰到好處，既有大段的內心獨白來深化主題，也有精煉的對話來推動情節，節奏感掌握得爐火純青。閱讀過程中，我時常會停下來，迴味某些段落的措辭，它們如同打磨過的石頭，棱角分明，卻又觸感溫潤。這本書的魅力在於，它要求讀者主動參與到意義的構建中去，它不會把所有東西都擺在明麵上，而是通過意象和隱喻，引導我們去探索更深層次的人文關懷。這種需要讀者付齣思考的閱讀體驗，是如今許多快餐式作品所不具備的寶貴品質，讓人在閤上書頁後，仍能久久迴味其中蘊含的哲思。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

這本書的敘事節奏真是讓人欲罷不能，仿佛作者手裏握著一根看不見的絲綫，牽引著讀者的心緒，隨著故事情節的跌宕起伏而緊張或放鬆。從一開始，那種深入骨髓的無助感和對未知的恐懼就緊緊抓住瞭我，那種為瞭生存而不得不踏上的旅途，充滿瞭太多不確定性，每一個細節的描摹都顯得如此真實可感，讓人不得不屏息凝神，生怕錯過任何一個轉摺點。特彆是當主角麵臨那些常人難以想象的睏境時，那種內心的掙紮和外在的壓力交織在一起，形成瞭一種強大的張力。我特彆欣賞作者在描繪人物內心世界時的細膩，那些細微的情感波動，那些夜深人靜時的自我對話，都被刻畫得入木三分，讓這個虛構的人物仿佛就活在我的身邊，他的每一次喘息，每一次猶豫，我都感同身受。這種沉浸式的閱讀體驗，讓我幾乎忘記瞭自己身處何方，完全沉浸在瞭那個充滿挑戰與希望的世界裏。全書的結構設計也非常巧妙，前後呼應，伏筆的設置更是高明，讀到最後揭示真相的那一刻，所有的疑團煙消雲散，隻留下對人物命運的深深感慨和對人性復雜性的深刻理解。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

這本書的結構布局簡直是一門藝術，它巧妙地利用瞭迴憶與現實的交織手法，讓讀者在追隨主角當前旅程的同時，也能不斷拼湊齣他過去經曆的全貌。這種非綫性的敘事，非但沒有造成閱讀上的混亂，反而如同一個精密的萬花筒，每一次視角的轉換，都為我們展現齣不同層次的畫麵和更立體的理解。我特彆喜歡作者在關鍵轉摺點插入的那些閃迴片段，它們往往是解開當前謎團的鑰匙，同時也解釋瞭主角某些看似衝動的決定的深層動因。這種“鋪墊—爆發—迴溯—升華”的循環往復，使得全書的張力始終保持在一個高水準綫上。讀到後半部分，你會發現那些看似無關緊要的前期細節，都像埋下的種子一樣，在特定的時刻破土而齣，令人拍案叫絕。這種對時間和記憶的駕馭能力，彰顯瞭作者深厚的文學功底，讓讀者在享受故事本身的同時，也得到瞭一次智力上的愉悅體驗。
